interior design advice
Are you looking simply for a bit of Interior design help?
Perhaps there’s something specific you want to change in a particular room, such as a new sofa
better lighting, or a colour refresh?
Maybe you want help finding a coffee table, some thoughts on how to furnish a ‘dead zone’ in your home, or perhaps you’ve inherited a piece of furniture or art and want to know how to make it work with what you already have?
Clients come to us every day asking for help with specific interior design-related questions,
and not necessarily looking for an entire room or home redesign.
Our Design Essentials service offering an in-person or online 1:1 consultation with designer Claire Botha has been created to help you with these everyday design dilemmas.
We like to think of it as a chat with your best friend who is an interior designer.
We’ll cast a fresh pair of eyes over your design challenge, come up with ideas and solutions and recommend product and resources to kick start your project.
We are completely independent and not aligned to any particular brand or supplier, so our advice is always based on the best option for you & your budget.
We can advise on everything from paint colours to redesigning layouts, from furniture to built-in cabinetry, from flooring to where to find artwork, from bathroom redesigns to kitchen sinks.
Consultations last up to an hour.
Images & supporting information will be required in advance and consultations will be followed up by email to recap key recommendations and provide links to suggested products and resources.
design essentials is available to clients online or in-person*
Included:
Advance review of images/questions
1:1 consultation (up to 60 mins)
Follow-up email with links to key resources
The Design Essentials package can later be upgraded to a full room transformation toolkit package & the Essentials fee off-set against the Toolkit price.

“We have been renovating and decorating our home since we moved in 7 years ago, but we both find choosing the right furniture and accessories a bit overwhelming. We’ve called on Geek Vintique for advice on numerous occasions and for different reasons, from getting the basics right like choosing soft furnishings and accessories, to making bigger decisions like kitchen choice, wall paint colour schemes and building in shelving.
Claire has been invaluable in helping guide us through this process and always manages to find the right look for our house, at the right price. We’re not blessed with an old characterful house, but Claire has definitely helped us bring the character in, through colour and style advice & ideas which have given us a cohesive look to build on. Would definitely recommend working with Claire, she’s insightful, creative, and always considers your budget when suggesting ideas.”
